Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup salsa
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef is evenly coated and the liquid has reduced.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked white rice, black beans, and diced tomatoes together.
Warm the flour tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet for about 15-20 seconds on each side or wrapping them in foil and placing them in a warm oven for 5 minutes.
To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Add a scoop of the seasoned ground beef to the center, followed by the rice and bean mixture.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, shredded lettuce, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Optional: Add salsa or your favorite hot sauce for extra flavor.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from bottom to top to form a burrito.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve warm and enjoy your Burritos El Grande!
